flamingswordSo I've been reading the book SuperFreakonomics, but I'm giving up on it, as I can feel myself getting dumber through sheer frustration. I want to learn about economics but so far there have been two barriers: 1. It's not a science, despite what it claims, and 2. It's dead boring, mostly. I had hoped a book with a wacky title would take care of the latter, and it has been interesting. But not enough to overcome my antipathy to it's many correlation/causation confusions.
I also checked out Hillary Clinton's book Hard Choices, about her time as Secretary of State, which I am expecting to learn at least a bit of modern statecraft from, yet another area in which my education is lacking. I have a lot more faith in HRC than in an economist, at any rate.
